I'm not too sure about this, but I think it's been said that Wolverine needs oxygen to survive, as his brain starts to rot without it. The idea being that you can kill him by drowning him. However, because of the healing factor this takes a while, anywhere from an hour to days and since he has the adamantium, he can sink to the bottom of whatever body of water he is in and walk back to shore.
It's the same kind of deal with Deadpool, in his comic series, as Wolverine decapitates him but his friend manages to re-attach the head. However as Deadpool's healing factor isn't as strong as Wolverine's, Deadpool can only last about twenty minutes without his head or oxygen.
While this may be off topic about Wolverine and decapitation, it hopefully answers everyone's questions about whether Wolverine is immortal.

No, Chuck Norris is Wolverine's father. I wonder who the mother was?Archemetis said:Or rather Chuck Norris is Wolverine.True-Shinobi said:I bet Chuck Norris could kill Wolverine
Well if you buy into the "Wolverine Dies" graphic novel by Marc Guggenheim & Howard Chaykin every time Wolverine has something happen to him that would kill a normal person he has to do battle with the Angel Of Death, (whom he originally defeated on a battlefield in Germany during World War I). And if he wins this battle he remains among the living,but if he looses then even if his flesh recovers him mind will remain comatose. Personally I find all that to be a complete crock. In all due reality it just depends on whose at the writing desk. I've read an issues from one era where they say that if he lost all the skin around his skull(peel him like a peach) that'd kill him. Then another time he gets hit by a nuke and heals up. Personally, if I were the writer I wouldn't get stupid with it like that. He'd be a guy who can heal quickly and has indestructible bones, but if you can get around his bones to one shot him he's toast. Also, on a sidenote, if I were a supervillain, I'd take a cue from Magneto, trap him between two giant magents, let them rip him apart and firmly beat what's left to a fine paste. Let's see him recover from that. LOL
Right firstly it's sci-fi and will not be totally feasible. But it depends on the discretion of the author as to how they decide to adjust the strength of the healing factor that Wolverine possesses.
However adamantium can cut through adamantium as shown in Civil War when Wolverine hunts down Damage Control. But also in Civil War Wolverine seems to be able to survive anything, as when Nitro explodes and reduces him to his brain and his skeleton and he still regenerates. But from what I've gathered there are certain injuries that even he cannot survive. Such as a strike from the Muramasa Blade, drowning and injury after ingestion of carbonadium. When any of these injuries occurs Wolverine must fight the 'Angel of Death' for his life. Recently he has given up the ability to recover from deadly injuries and severely reduced his healing factor for a part of his soul.
His first encounter with the 'Angel of Death' was when he was in World War I or II where he was killed by chlorine gas.
But as I have said it's mainly up to artistic temperament.
Also for those of you who have read the story in which Wolverine hasn't been deprogrammed from Hydra's control, he kills Luke Cage, Spider-man, Captain America, Sue Storm and Magneto, long with many others, he is eventually killed by Kitty Pryde(Shadowcat) when she phases her had into his brain.

It would sound like "whooop!"Fallswhale said:
Isnt Muramasa the name of a legendary Japanese swordsmith? Something about him and his counterpart Masamune.
hell in the "web of shadows" game spider-man rips wolverine in half, and he is still talking smack! Also if i remember there was a time when hulk also ripped off wolverines arms and beat him in the head with them, didn't kill him as far as i know, but i'm sure it would be rather insulting, even more so if the hulk was shouting "stop hitting yourself"Donbett1974 said:
Decapiating Wolverine raises a very interesting question; why wouldn't two wolverines come back?
If wolvering can regenerate from soft cell tissue, then if he loses an arm, the main body would grow a new one; why wouldnt the severed arm lying on the floor begin to grow a new body?

why couldnt you melt him like in terminator 2. or does adamantium have too high a boiling point? why not just throw him into the sun?
Okay, reading all this, and I am utterly amazed that nobody thought of this. Let's look at a couple facts, one from the past, the other from, well, the past as well, but more sciency.
First, the Badlands, a place where no mutant powers work. None. That goes for Wolverine's healing factor! Take him there, strand him, and let the super-fauna have a field day. If he makes it to a beach? Have snipers finish the job.
Second, Adamantium is disgustingly poisonous. The only reason he can maintain his health at all is because of his regenerative capabilities. And even then, the adamantium in his system is severely slowing what he's capable of. Without it? Oh, he'd probably regrow a limb instantly after losing it. Now, if we were to compound this with the first point above, then we could strand him in the Badlands and just let the metal kill him. Beautiful!
Of course, now we approach the questions of whether there'd be a second wolverine if you were to remove his head, or sever him in half. The fact is there wouldn't. For his regeneration, most of it is based on the key genomes locked inside of his brain, and thus only the portion with the brain would be able to regenerate. Ripped vertically in half? They would be unable to regenerate until both are back together. (Yes, I'm purposely ignoring his regeneration from a solitary cell)
Now, why does the Adamantium regenerate with his skeleton each time he does so? ...
Well, that's for another fan to pick off. I only know his powers, and their limitations. Not a damn thing about the metalurgy of his enhancements.
